However, the exchange of messages between the pair turned out to be fake after it emerged that Terry had doctored them.

Terry, who clearly had something to get off his chest, messaged Ray to say he “did his head in” and in an attempt to tackle the issue head on, offered Ray an arm wrestle at a branch of Nando’s if the post received enough likes and shares.

He said: “Ray, this is not personal, you’re a talented bloke. I mean, to be honest you were sound as that kid in Brookside and you can sing good I guess.

“You even got close enough to Leona Lewis to make me jealous, but all this aside, there’s just something I can’t put my finger on that does my head in about you.

“I don’t know if it’s your hair, or the annoying poses I keep seeing you do since you started the gym, but I just feel the need to confront the issue.”

Terry also offered an ultimatum - if Ray won the challenge he would become a superfan - but if he lost he would have to “stop being cheesy” and also “neck Terry’s nan”.
